Dear Reader:
Team Cherry shares response to Hollow Knight's cancelled physical release, hope to still make it happen in the future
We found out late yesterday that Hollow Knight's planned physical release through Skybound Games was cancelled. We didn't have a reason for the cancellation at that point, but now with a message from Team Cherry themselves, the situation has been explained.
We’re regretfully announcing the cancellation of physical copies of Hollow Knight and our partnership with Skybound Games.
As a team of 3 people still in intensive production of Hollow Knight, taking the game into the retail space (even with the extensive assistance of Skybound) proved more work than we could reasonably manage.
In future we will investigate other ways to deliver physical versions of Hollow Knight, though likely that will be in smaller quantities.
We’d like to thank Skybound for the amazing opportunity they provided, and for their professionalism and enthusiasm the whole way.
